I guess there's some ways to pull O2/H2 from water....I asked Ai:
**LOW-TEMPERATURE METHODS**
1. **Electrolysis (Room Temp to ~80°C)**
- **How it works:** Apply an electric current to water, splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen gas.
- **Equation:**
2H_2O ? 2H_2 + O_2
- **Efficiency Boosters:**
- Add an electrolyte (e.g., KOH, NaOH, or H2SO4) to improve conductivity.
- Use PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) or alkaline electrolyzers for efficiency.
- **Pros:** Clean, controllable, and widely used in hydrogen fuel tech.
- **Cons:** Requires electricity, which may not be efficient unless using renewable energy.
2. **Chemical Reactions (Cold or Room Temp)**
- **Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition:**
2H_2O_2 ? 2H_2O + O_2
- Uses a catalyst like manganese dioxide (MnO2) to generate oxygen.
- **Metal-Water Reactions (for H2 Production):**
- Certain metals (e.g., aluminum with gallium, sodium, magnesium) react with water at room temp, releasing hydrogen:
2Al + 6H_2O ? 2Al(OH)_3 + 3H_2
- Gallium prevents oxidation layers on aluminum, making the reaction efficient.
---
**HIGH-TEMPERATURE METHODS**
1. **Thermal Decomposition (~2500°C)**
- Water can be split into H2 and O2 at extreme temperatures.
- 2H_2O ? 2H_2 + O_2
- **How?**
- Requires extreme heat from **solar concentrators, plasma arcs, or nuclear reactors**.
- Used in **solar thermochemical water splitting cycles**.
2. **Thermochemical Cycles (~500-1200°C)**
- Use intermediate reactions to lower the energy required for water splitting.
- **Sulfur-Iodine Cycle (S-I Cycle):**
- **Step 1:** Iodine + sulfuric acid + water ? hydrogen iodide (HI) + sulfuric acid.
- **Step 2:** Decompose HI at ~350°C to get H2.
- **Step 3:** Decompose sulfuric acid at ~800°C to get O2.
- **Overall Effect:** Water ? H2 + O2, with recyclable chemicals.
- Used in **nuclear hydrogen production**.
3. **Steam Reforming of Hydrocarbons (~700-1000°C)**
- Not strictly splitting water, but reacts H2O with methane or other hydrocarbons.
- **Reaction:**
CH_4 + H_2O ? CO + 3H_2
- **Used for:** Industrial hydrogen production.
---
**WHICH METHOD TO CHOOSE?**
- **Low temp (Electrolysis):** Good for small-scale, clean hydrogen production if you have electricity.
- **Low temp (Chemical Reactions):** Good if you want immediate oxygen or hydrogen without electricity.
- **High temp (Thermal/Thermochemical):** Ideal for large-scale, industrial hydrogen production using concentrated solar or nuclear heat.
What’s your use case? Are you thinking **fuel production**, **oxygen extraction in space**, or something else?

Up 133 % today...NewHydrogen Reveals Secret to Its Breakthrough Technology
NEWH | 2 days ago
The Company’s ThermoLoop technology relies on a paradigm shift to use inexpensive heat and water to kill electrolyzers and make the world’s cheapest green hydrogen
SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Feb. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTCMKTS:NEWH), the developer of ThermoLoop™, a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen, today revealed the secret behind its paradigm shift.
“We believe ThermoLoop will be a game changer compared to conventional low performance electrolyzer technology,” said NewHydrogen CEO Steve Hill. “ThermoLoop can be configured as a drop-in replacement for electrolyzers, making them obsolete. Simply put, we believe that ThermoLoop will be an electrolyzer killer.”
Mr. Hill continued, “Using heat, rather than electricity, is simply a better way to split water to make green hydrogen. Heat is cheap. It can be found everywhere, including concentrated solar, nuclear reactors, and waste heat from industrial plants, such as oil refineries and cement and steel manufacturing plants. Heat based systems are more scalable and have the potential to be cheaper than electrolyzer systems.”
The Challenge
Scientists have struggled for decades in search of an efficient way to use heat to split water. Why? Because the biggest challenge in building a heat system is the temperature mismatch between the different chemical reactions in the process. One reaction extracts hydrogen from water, which usually occurs at a low temperature. Another reaction extracts oxygen from water, which usually occurs at a high temperature. While the system is heating up or cooling down, hydrogen is not being produced and excess energy is wasted. This is incredibly inefficient.
The Breakthrough – ThermoLoop
NewHydrogen is inventing a better way to use heat to split water that allows all reactions to occur at nearly the same temperature. These reactions are called near isothermal reactions. The process is called thermochemical water-splitting.
To achieve this “holy grail” of near isothermal reactions, NewHydrogen is developing novel materials and chemical reactions from the ground up. Therefore, when the first reaction temperature is close to the second reaction temperature, system downtime is minimized. ThermoLoop only needs to heat a little bit and cool a little bit and hydrogen production “loops” continuously. This is a very efficient solution.
How do we find this novel material? Using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, we search the periodic table and play jig saw puzzle with many different elements to arrive at a novel material with just the right “goldilocks” attributes to enable scalable isothermal reactions.
The Secret
We designed a set of novel chemical reactions using a new paradigm that exploits the phase change properties of our Novel Material, as its components change from solid to liquid to gas, and back to solid. It is this phase change that allows us to reduce the temperature difference between the reactions. This is the key to what we believe will allow us to achieve near isothermal reactions for the continuous production of hydrogen from water.
Finally, we combine all these innovations to create ThermoLoop, a highly scalable thermochemical water-splitting system that we believe can produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen.
Mr. Hill concluded, “ThermoLoop is agnostic to the sources of heat and water. If we simply couple ThermoLoop with any available source of heat and water, we can create an incredibly efficient, low-cost, clean and green hydrogen production machine – anywhere, anytime. What if heat is hard to get? No problem. Because the thermodynamics of heat systems are more efficient and scalable than electrolyzer systems, we believe we can convert electricity to heat to run ThermoLoop and still outperform electrolyzers.”

OTCMKTS:NEWH New Hydrogen CEO Steve Hill and University of Michigan Expert Discuss Energy Infrastructure Coordination and Data Security
Dr. Vladimir Dvorkin shares his experience in coordinating critical infrastructures such as power grid with data centers, safeguarding energy data privacy, and evolving role of AI
SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Dec. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTCMKTS:NEWH), the developer of ThermoLoop ™ , a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat rather than electricity to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen, today announced a podcast featuring CEO Steve Hill and Dr. Vladimir Dvorkin, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan.
As for coordinating infrastructure like power grid and data centers, Dr. Dvorkin said, “Data centers are newly emerging pieces of infrastructure to have a huge impact on power grid. Electrical load can rapidly change due to sudden change of power drawn from AI processing requirements. Further, emission requirements at various locations may dictate which data centers should take the heavy load at a given time. It is fortunate that we can change training algorithms for AI loads to minimize the electricity consumption at data centers depending on what algorithms are being used. We can think of this as smoothing the load profile of disruptive electrical loads with minimum impact on performance since electricity availability is less dependent on locations than that of natural gas.”
On data security for public safety, Dr. Dvorkin said, “Data can be very proprietary and very sensitive since electric power system is a nationally critical infrastructure. We have some models of the grid, but the secrecy of certain information makes it difficult to manage. That is where modern technology of differential privacy and optimization kicks in. The technology allows us to synthesize actual power grids without disclosing too much information. It is a game of trade on how much information you want to reveal in order to fine-tune your trading strategy versus how much resilient system you want.
On the challenges of integrating AI with our critical infrastructure, Dr. Dvorkin said, “Data center owners like Google, Microsoft, Amazon need to know projected demand and how much power supply they will need in the long term. Recently the deal between Microsoft and Three Miles Power Plant is an example of this coordination so they anticipate demand and secure supply up to 20 years ahead. For a short term, Google talks to local power companies to accommodate peak load and smooth out data center profile during peak hours to minimize stress on the grid. Also, a power plant may suddenly lose power, and we need the flexibility to accommodate the loss of generation.”
Dr. Vladimir Dvorkin received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. Before joining University of Michigan, Dr. Vladimir was with the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) and Energy Initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a MSCA postdoctoral fellow. He leads the ?ptiML group, where they harness the power of optimization and machine learning to address the grand challenges of transitioning to digital and carbon-free power and energy systems.
